Mets' Max Scherzer: Dominant versus Yankees

Scherzer allowed five hits, two walks and a hit batsman in seven shutout innings Wednesday in the Mets' win over the Yankees. He struck out six but did not factor into the decision.

Scherzer pitched well enough to win, but David Peterson appeared out of the bullpen and allowed a game-tying two-run home run to Gleyber Torres in the eighth inning. This was Scherzer's third straight start without a win, his longest drought of the season. He now has a 2.09 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 104:15 K:BB in 82 innings across 13 turns, with all but three having been quality starts. The ace right-hander lines up for a favorable road start versus the Nationals next week.
